Worst experience ever!! First kid it was simple, second kid they do not have enough instructors for behind the wheel, if you don't call right away when it opens up you are screwed and need to be put on a worthless waiting list that never has anything open up and you need to keep calling back to be put on or you are dropped off it. Why should I call back, if I am on the list it should be in order who gets the next open spot and your not dropped off until you get an opening or that month is over!!
So if you are say number one on that list and didn't get a spot in the allotted days you could then be 50th on the next list how is that fair to these kids especially ones who have been at it for months!! would never again recommend this school for Drivers Education for a child. Highly recommend not using them and going to someone else or through the school you will be much happier and done faster.

Driving instructor was too unnerving to many for a "lesson". Needs to learn to be more patient with those who are just beginning to learn new techniques in driving.

Classroom is ok but the only problem is your the one will always call for the driving test if there's cancelations or appointment, it should be they schedule right away coz you paid the whole amount but you have to call and call and call all the time, it's so frustrating that's there's no available and call again and again and again.
